Do you know when they were used there?
I know that the filigreed overlay material was produced in the 1020s and 1930s.
I do not find where "CEP" [Casino Elysee Palace] would fit in for a name during that period or earlier. The facade on the building simply reads "ELYSEE PALACE" along w/ Cercle des Sports, theartre and Music-Hall... and all early material (Celluloid-type pastics) is either monogrammed "EP" or spelled out "ELYSEE PALACE" and I do not find any mention of "CASINO" in that period; though later in history the use of casino was put on their jetons/plaques -- even during "CERCLE des SPORTS" back to the 1800s no mention of casino.
Patrick PARTOUCHE was asked of history after the Group (Group PARTOUCHE) took control in 1993, and I have nothing showing the pieces used there confirmed from their office.
Right now I'm looking at postal cards and collections of jetons/plaques back to 1898 and other than "ELYSEE PALACE" being spelled out I can only find "EP" and nothing with "CEP" graphics up to the more modern laminates pre-monetary reform and NF period when "casino" was incorporated on the jetons/plaques -- everything I see is "ELYSEE PALACE" only.
That's why I'm curious as to knowing when they were used...
ChipGuide shows some early molded plastics w/o the mention of CASINO" as well... but what I'm looking at now is the ULTIMATE regarding VICHY collections...
Time has passed and perhaps something has been found that I do not know about... and, again; thus my question of trying to learn when they were used.
